Church of San Bartolomé

Monument · Basardilla, Alfoz de Segovia, Segovia

The church of San Bartolomé, in Basardilla (Segovia), was declared a Bien de Interés Cultural (Spain's highest level of heritage protection) on 12 May 1994. Romanesque in origin, it has been altered by later works: it consists of a nave and a lateral body that today forms a second, parallel nave, separated from the main one by transverse arches. It preserves the two Romanesque apses that close off both naves, with decorated cornices and corbels; the main one, taller, has a round-arched window above columns with decorated capitals, now blocked up. The south doorway is also Romanesque, with a round arch and three archivolts decorated with rosettes. The four-stage tower dominates the west front, of exposed rubble masonry with ashlar at the corners. It is surrounded by low granite houses built directly on the bedrock.
